Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
The mechanism consisting of three turning pairs and one sliding pair, is called a
Pendulum pump or Bull engine
Rotary internal combustion engine
Oscillating cylinder engine
Crank and slotted lever quick return motion mechanism
Explanation:
All the mechanisms mentioned above are forms of single slider crank chain only and hence, they all contain three turning pairs and one sliding pair. The inversion of a single slider crank chain are found in the following mechanism:
Question 2

Pass Ratio : 100%
A type-writer constitutes a machine.
True
False
Explanation:
When a mechanism is required to transmit power or to do some particular type of work, it then becomes a machine.But in case of a typewriter there is no case of power transmission. Hence it is not a machine.
Question 3
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
The mechanism in which two are turning pairs and two are sliding pairs, is called a
elliptical trammel
scotch yoke mechanism
oldham’s coupling
all of the mentioned
Explanation:
A double slider crank chain consists of two sliding pairs and two turning pairs. The inversions of a double slider crank chain are as follows:
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Whitworth quick return motion mechanism is an inversion of a double slider crank chain.
True
False
Explanation:
Whitworth quick return motion mechanism is a form of single slider crank chain and it consists of one sliding pair and three turning pairs.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
A point on a connecting link of a double slider crank mechanism traces a
straight line path
hyperbolic path
parabolic path
elliptical path
Explanation:
None.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
The mechanism forms a structure, when the number of degrees of freedom (n) is equal to
0
1
2
-1
Explanation:
A structure can be formed only when the number of degrees of freedom is zero.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Scotch yoke mechanism is used to generate
sine functions
square roots
logarithms
inversions
Explanation:
None.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
If the number of links in a mechanism are equal to l, then the number of possible inversions are equal to
l – 2
l – 1
l
l + 1
Explanation:
Whatever is the number of links in a mechanism, only that much number of inversion can be obtained.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
In a coupling rod of a locomotive, each of the four pairs is a _____________ pair.
sliding
turning
rolling
screw
Explanation:
In a locomotive, one rod of the coupling rod can only turn or revolve about a fixed axis of another rod. This takes place only in case of turning pair.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
The whitworth quick return motion mechanism is formed in a slider crank chain when the
coupler link is fixed
longest link is a fixed link
slider is a fixed link
smallest link is a fixed link
Explanation:
None.
